Hof. Molhuizen et al., ASSIGNMENT OF THE HUMAN GENE ENCODING THE EPIDERMAL SERINE PROTEINASE-INHIBITOR SKALP (PI3) TO CHROMOSOME REGION 20Q12-]Q13, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 66(2), 1994, pp. 129-131
Recently we isolated a cDNA clone corresponding to an epidermal serine
proteinase inhibitor named SKALP (skin-derived antileukoproteinase).
Here we report the chromosomal localization of the human gene encoding
SKALP by Southern blot analysis of a panel of human x hamster hybrid
cell lines and by nonradioactive in situ hybridization on R-banded hum
an lymphocyte chromosome spreads. The SKALP-encoding gene has been ass
igned the approved symbol PI3 by the Human Gene Mapping nomenclature c
ommittee.
